    Yeah, I don’t think anyone is really that excited for Starfield at this point.

  I’ve yet to see a single PS person excited about getting Starfield. At most, they’re like, “Oh, that’s nice,” and go back to doing other things.

    I was being sarcastic. No one cares about Starfield.

  And everyone else just realizes how bad this means things are going for the gaming industry as a whole.

  This isn’t good news for anyone who likes actually owning their games instead of just having a license, if they own a console.

  That ship sailed in PC gaming forever ago, which is honestly fine considering storefronts like GOG exist, but it’s still going to be a gut-punch to people who have invested financially heavily in the Xbox ecosystem.

  It’s going to mean smaller selections of games, more gambling/gacha bullshit, and “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” will dominate the industry. When licensing runs out for music, they’ll just pull a game instead of trying to “fix” it, if it’s not profitable enough. We’re entering an era where there will be a dead-zone of lost media and history because so much of it is increasingly locked up behind corporate barriers.

    I have some bad news about the past few years for you…

  Of all the games you want, Starfield is not one of them.
